The Solution

Let's Delight users and Gaidd them to value.

Signup funnelWhere users drop

Where your onboarding, core product and upgrade journeys quietly lose users — screen by screen.

PLG Audit

Know what activation really means for your product

We compare users who stayed against users who left and find the actions that actually predict retention. You get one activation definition your whole team can rally around, and a real activation rate to measure every future change against.

UX Architecture

Journeys that meet each user where they are

Different users sign up for different jobs. We identify your main user types from the data and design the first steps around what each one came to do, so every signup sees their own job in the first minutes.

DFY Roadmap

One connected path from signup to upgrade

We rebuild your journeys as a single path, so each step hands off to the next instead of dropping users between teams. Every screen comes as a mockup with the evidence behind it, plus a roadmap of what to ship first.

FAQ

Before you book

Who is this for?+

Product-led B2B software companies at roughly $1–3M ARR with a self-serve signup and at least 500 new signups a month. Below that there isn't enough behavior to design from. The core product should already work: we optimize the path to value, not product-market fit.

What access do you need?+

Read-only access to your product analytics (PostHog or similar) and session replay. We never touch your database or your code, and you can revoke access at any time.

Our tracking is messy. Can we still do it?+

Usually, yes. We'll check on the eligibility call. If session replay isn't on, turning it on is part of day 1.

How much of my team's time does it take?+

About 2 hours in total: the 30-minute kickoff, a few async answers on days 2–4, and the day 7 walkthrough. Bring whoever owns the product.

Do you build the changes?+

No. You get mockups and journeys ready to build, and a roadmap that puts the easiest high-impact changes first. Your team ships them.

We already have a designer.+

Good. They'll build from the mockups. We decide what to redesign from your data, so your designer doesn't have to guess or wait for a brief.

Will activation go up within the 7 days?+

No, and be wary of anyone who says it will. In 7 days we define your activation moment and rebuild the journeys. The lift shows up after your team ships them.

What's the eligibility call?+

A 30-minute call where we check your product is a fit and show you where your activation journey breaks today. If it isn't a fit, we'll say so.
